DESCRIPTION:Date: 3rd October 2pm\n\nVenue: Alliance Française\, 60 Hills
  Road CB2 1AL\n\n> Booking required\, limited number of seats <\n\nThe tal
 k is based on Patrick Baert’s book The Existentialist Moment\; The Rise 
 of Sartre as a Public Intellectual (Polity Press 2015).\n\nPatrick Baert i
 s Professor of Social Theory at the University of Cambridge and Fellow of 
 Selwyn College\, Cambridge.\n\nUntil 1944 Jean-Paul Sartre was only known 
 to a small group of French intellectuals. Within less than two years this 
 would change dramatically: by 1946 Sartre had become a celebrity in France
  and existentialism had gained a large following.  In this talk Patrick Ba
 ert explains Sartre’s sudden rise in the context of the immediate post-w
 ar era in France. The talk also accounts for Sartre’s demise\, the emerg
 ence of rival philosophies and the continuing fascination with this iconic
  figure\, not just in France but also worldwide.
